Sparky, so sorry this has happened to you

I apologize for talking about other forums...I was angry, and hurt, it won't happen again.

Default Hi Sparky!

Wow! Nice to 'see' you!
I can ONLY imagine what went down ...but just for a second: you've got friends to connect and reconnect with, here; that's a better thing to focus on. Walk away from the drama wherever it was, take the positive with you and leave the rest behind for the others to gnaw on if that's how they want to spend their time (and you know some of them do, poor souls). I'm just tickled you're here! You're a delight in my book, always have been.

Becca44 - friend from way back. :O)

Thumbs up What goes around, comes around!!!

M.S. is such an isoloating disease. Being kicked when your already down is a horrible thing. I know as I recently suffered a similar fate !

Becca! You and your blue avatar! Good to see you both.

Tawanda, I just know you were able to bounce back from your experience and regain your good standing.

It does, Dejibo!

Unfortunately, you cannot unring the bell once it's already been rung.

I should not have had to regain my good standing as I did nothing wrong in the first place. It was demeaning. However, with so few lifelines when it comes to M.S. support, I swallowed my pride and did what I had to do and need not be congratulated.

Here's hoping with all find the support we need .

Be Well,
Tawanda

spark, so good to see you. welcome to NT.
one thing that helped me when i left my career was to let myself grieve for the loss. my leaving was under less than stellar circumstances.

maybe you could write a letter (but not mail it) to the company and spill out everything you feel.

and maybe you are suffering from some PTSD surrounding these circumstances. would some really short term counseling help?

just some ideas that helped me.

Hey Sparky, sorry to hear that the company treated you so poorly after your years of service. Jocelyn has told me several times that she would have appreciated at least a "thank you very much" when she got finished her tenure. She of course got bupkis.

I think of you every spring when the hummingbirds head north. I still use the link you sent me to watch the migration.

NurseNancy, I did something similar to what you suggested, and it did do me a bit of good!

Ptwo, good to see you! How nice that you still follow the hummingbird migration. I was able to put a dot on that map once! That year my 1st hummer was the 2nd most northern report in the state of Mississippi.
